In reply to Re: Jay, I think you've tried cyproheptadine too?, posted by linkadge on June 29, 2005, at 19:37:45
Hi Link!
Thank you for your detailed reply :-)
>I found that cyproheptadine was good for a few things.
In your experience, how does it compare with sedating antihistamines that are not 5-HT2 antagonists?
>It enhances melatonin production.......
Do you have any articles?
>When I was on SSRI's, the only times I felt really goood was when they totally disrupted my sleep.
You seem to respond well to sleep deprivation!
>Unfortunately it is too much antihistamine/anticholinrgic compared to antiserotonin, so you do get a lot that you don't want.
How sedating did you find it? Did you get a dry mouth?>I also found it does have antipsychotic qualities.
Can you give an example? I didn't realise you had any psychotic symptoms.
>Its funny, if you take it for a long time, and then suddenly discontinue, you almost get an LSD like effect.
What sort of visual effects did it produce when you stopped?
Kind regards
~Ed
